Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyThe communication between the staff could be more professional in favor of the guests.
The position of the hotel is very central, all the must-have sights are close by and the restaurant under the hotel as well as the terrace with beautiful view are very nice!

MexicoI highly recommend NOT to stay here. I had one of the worst & scariest experiences of my life, there was an incident with Mustafa, he is one of the managers of the hotel, my sister and I almost ended up losing our flights back to Mexico because he offered a "trusted taxi service", so he ordered a taxi for us to get to the airport, and he asked us to pay in advance which it was weird to me, but I trusted him, and we paid him in advance. He said it was a trusted cab and, that's why, it was expensive. The cab arrived in the morning to pick us up, I thought the price and payment was already settled because we end up paying a lot of money to Mustafa, but the taxi driver wanted more money, and we noticed he was taking us through a wrong way, we confronted him about it, and he said it was because the "free highway was blocked" and he had to take the toll road but honestly I didn't see any blockage, he asked us for more money, we told him we paid Mustafa already and that it wasn't fair he increased out of nowhere the price, he was getting mad and threatened us with leaving us in the middle of the highway to lose our flight if we didn't pay the extra money he was asking, we told him we wouldn't give him more money, he stopped the car for 20 minutes, and he was calling someone by the phone. It appears that his intention was to make us lose our flight. He ignored us while we were almost begging him to take us to the airport, because we were already late for our flights, he was wasting our time on purpose, he told us he would take us only if we pay extra 1800 Turkish liras. We were scared because he was getting violent. We decided to go out of the car and try to take another cab, but he didn't want to open the trunk, and all our suitcases were in his trunk, until I told him we would call the police, he opened the trunk.
The hotel is centrally located

United States of AmericaBoutique hotel does not have a lift and very narrow stairs to go to rooms. Hard to climb even with hand carry only. Breakfast was not organized properly. When we went to the restaurant for breakfast they said chef is not there so breakfast is not available. Breakfast was provided at 10.30 pm. The hotel locks the main door at midnight so you have to be in by that time.
Location is excellent! Walking distance to blue mosque, Sophia hagie and the prophets museum.

South AfricaThe hotel is run by the restaurant below so when you arrive at the hotel there's no one at reception. There are spiral stairs leading to the rooms with no elevator. We were at the top level and it was a bit difficult to carry 3 large suitcases up the stairs. It's also very noisy at night with guests walking up and down the stairs to visit the rooftop restaurant. The owner also accused us of not paying and said we were trying to avoid them. We paid before our arrival and he couldn't check with us first as to what was going on but immediately made accusations. The bathrooms are also not private at all.
The room was as per the photos The location is great! Nice rooftop restaurant.

United KingdomI got to the hotel mins to 3am due to delayed and cancelled flights but Musa was extremely patient he came out in the rain to find me when I got lost trying to find the hotel, they even upgraded my room! As a sole traveller to Istanbul that was extremely reassuring. They were very helpful and kind during my stay. You could not get a better location, it was literally a min from the iconic Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia and a stones throw to many other areas of interests. Highly recommend this place.

KazakhstanThe room was really cold when we arrived (January), but hotel personnel bring portable electric heater, and it helped a lot. Another thing is that on pictures it looked nice and clean, but in reality the carpets were dirty, and it is needed some cosmetic repair for room, bathroom was really cold, and after shower it felt even more.
Location of the hotel is so convinient, all the most visited sightseeings of the city is in walikng distance. Turkish breakfast that is served in the hotel is good, beds are comfortable. One this that attracted me is the ponaramic view from the hotel's roof top restaurant where you can have breakfasts and in general can order dinner, lunch and so on.

Had a great time here. The bed was not comfortable I have to say, but as far as location is concerned, you can't go wrong. And really nice, fun, staff. Its great value just for it's location alone. You should pay about 320 TL for a cab ride from the airport :)

United Arab EmiratesNothing, everything was great!
Great little hotel. I had a great stay there. Mustafa is an amazing PR and speaks different languages and Ali will do anything to make you happy just like the rest of the staff. I thoughrouhly enjoyed my stay there and felt very safe. The terrace has a breathtaking view and it's just a couple of minutes from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Mustafa can arrange any outings like the Bosphorous boat tour and the taxis. I will definitely stay there next time I'm in Istanbul.

United States of AmericaMustafa and his staff were more than accomadating. They made us feel so welcome and traveling as girls we felt safe. They arranged for us to check in several hours early. We were traveling to multiple cities after staying there and and had to leave some bags with the hotel and it was no issue and it was safe to do. The only downside is that there is no elevator but and the staff carried our suitcases up and down the steps. The location is amazing and very close to all the major tourist spots. A 2-3 minute walk from all the major mosques and tourist attractions. They are very quick with communication when we had a question I would message and would get an answer right away. Mustafa arranged all the rides to and from the airports and when we told him we needed a Covid test for the return trip he arranged it for us within a couple of hours for a great price and we had are results back quickly.

United States of AmericaNothing. Everything was phenomenal. I was sad to leave!
I stayed for 6 nights and I loved everything about this hotel! The owner Esrin and his staff go above and beyond to help their guests and to make sure that we are comfortable. The breakfast was phenomenal too. The lady who cleans and cooks (I forgot her name but I believe it starts with an “A”) was the most kind person!! She would even pull out her phone to translate when I did not understand some Turkish. So sweet! The room was super clean and the view from the terrace upstairs is the best! Seven Hills restaurant is famous for their terrace, but I prefer the one at Seven Dreams because it has a roof and you don’t have to worry about getting pooped on by birds! The location and the price cannot be beat. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat! I was legit sad when it was time to checkout.
